(With a hat-tip to The Merry Widow, who emailed me the link in this posting)We infidels have heard numerous stories about how Muslims hate dogs, even the very sight of a dog. From this article in World Net Daily comes another such story:
Muslim threats force outOh, really, Ms. Espe? Considering Muslim dogophobia, just how will such "future problems" be avoided? By service dog Emmitt away in some isolated corner of the campus and having a human escort for Mr. Hurd from the dog's confinement point to the work Mr. Hurd does?
disabled teacher with dog
Islamic students reportedly taunted 'unclean' animal
A Muslim high school student's intolerance for a service dog needed by a student teacher with a disability has reportedly prompted the student teacher to abandon the last 10 hours of his scheduled assignment at Technical High School in St. Cloud, Minn.
The St. Cloud Times online said the situation developed with student teacher Tyler Hurd, 23, of Mahtomedi, who hopes to teach special education.
He's a student at St. Cloud State University, and was assigned to Technical High School in the St. Cloud district for his 50 hours of student teaching, and took with him his service dog, Emmitt.
The newspaper said Hurd needs a service dog because of a childhood injury that leaves him with seizures, sometimes happening as often as weekly. The black lab is trained to protect Hurd when he has a seizure.
The school district told the newspaper it wasn't really a threat.
"I think it was a misunderstanding where we didn't really prepare either side for possible implications," Julia Espe, curriculum director for the public schools, said.
Hurd, however, reported a student threatened to kill his dog. He said the threat came from a Somali student who is Muslim.
[...]
A meeting was set up involving Kate Steffens, the dean of education at St. Cloud State, and assistant principal Lori Lockhart of Tech, in order to avoid future problems.
"We certainly welcome (Hurd) in our district, and we hope we can get this all resolved so he feels welcome and his dog is welcome," Espe said.
From the above-cited article, the following comment demonstrates a laudatory anti-dhimmitudinal attitude:
On the newspaper's forum, "scorpionthoughts" said: "The last time I checked this is the United States of America!!!!! So many people are getting shipped over here and expect to be treated like they and their beliefs are better …. If you don't like the way things are in this country – stay in your own … place of origin!!!"Kudos to you, Scorpionthoughts!

You know, AOW(and thanks for the ht), as time goes by, I like dogs a lot better than mohammadins every day!
Good morning, G*D bless and Maranatha!

And this occurs in that state of the Union where many thought was the safeway to humanitarianism.
I remember in the 60's when Minneapolis was "The All American City". St. Cloud and Mankato were settings for bucolic community colleges.
Now the state is the base for an Islamic Congressman, 'Musselmen' cabdrivers dictate airport pollicies....and once Sweden withdraws the last of its troop from Europe, they'll most likely want to settle in a land that at one time their relatives made civil.
Actually all Muslims don't hate dogs. We can have dogs as work animals and/or for protection. However a dog is not allowed into the house as we believe angels will not enter the dwelling with a dog present. There also is a cleaning regiment that needs to be done after having contact with them.
I particularly like Japanese Akitas, Gorgeous animals.
Zaakir Abdullah,
It seems to me unreasonable that any Muslim would object to Hurd's having a dog. Without that dog, Hurd would lead a much more insular life and possibly not be able to pursue the career path he's chosen.
In effect, Hurd's dog is a work dog. In my view, the Muslims who objected to Emmitt were way out of line.
a dog is not allowed into the house as we believe angels will not enter the dwelling with a dog present
Of course, a school is not a dwelling. Why should it matter to the Muslims at the school that an angel is not entering the building? Surely, they don't believe that the dog will somehow knock the angel off their left shoulder?
Fine, abdullah, I'll stay the hell away from your house. Other than that, how about you suck it up and not try to tell the kufrs whether or not they can have dogs. And ease up on the takkiya. I'm not interested in "understanding" your "religious traditions" and, in the face of your trojan horse Obama trying to gain access to the presidency of our nation, I'm not in the mood to be polite about them. I'm interested in your keeping them the hell out of my face. Capice?
Or maybe you'd like to instruct me on how uppity American women should behave when addressing male members of the Umma.
Jay Severin has been covering this story on the radio in the Boston area this afternoon and seems to imply that Hurd has been forced to leave the campus because a ruling was made in favor of the complaining -- and threatening -- Muslim. Does anyone know if that is accurate?
I'm off to see "Iron Man", maybe that will bring my blood pressure down.
Tony Stark for POTUS.
Was that fun or what? Jeezloeeze.
The sheer joy of Western technology put to the task of routing stone age thugs and protecting the innocent, all done with maximum style and pizaazz.
Bring on the sequel. He said "Avenger" what?
Sometimes really show too much tolerance for other cultures. That student should be suspended, no matter what his religion says. There is no excuse for threatening an innocent handicapped person. In addition to their fear of pigs, they also fear dogs, yet they seem to have no fear of the suffer they would experience if one of their more devoted fellow Muslims thought they weren't being Muslim enough. We are to believe that theirs is a tolerant faith, but they can't tolerate a handicapped person, with a dog? Secular, liberal multiculturalists, look very carefully. Do you really think they will tolerate you, or your life style, if they ever dominate here?
RRA,
A Google search of "Tyler Hurd" yields multiple hits. The info you're seeking may be in those Google-search results.
Damien,
Well said!
